'Titanic' Theme Song Makes Me Want To Throw Up, Kate Winslet Says

And the Oscar for the most refreshingly candid actress goes to ... "Titanic" star Kate Winslet!

Check out the above video of Winslet making the media rounds in advance of the re-release of "Titanic," the mega-blockbuster that made her a household name and earned her an Academy Award nomination for best actress. Winslet had two options going into this interview. She could have done the whole Hollywood-smiley-face thing and gushed on and on about how the 1997 movie changed her life, about how much she loves it, about the on-screen magic she shared with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio ... blah, blah, blah.

Winslet said that she feels "like throwing up" when she hears the soaring theme song of "Titanic." In fact, she said, the signature Celine Dion ballad "haunts" her.

"I wish I could say, 'Oh listen everybody! It's the Celine Dion song!' But I don't. I just have to sit there, you know, kinda straight-faced, with a massive internal eye roll," she said.

It's no wonder she feels that way: "My Heart Will Go On" follows Winslet wherever she goes.

"Every time I go into either some kind of a bar in a hotel where there's a live pianist or into a restaurant where they are changing their music according to who walks in the door ... it's thrilling for people to 'surprise' me with the Celine Dion song," she said. (snip)

"It rather haunts me," she said of the song. "Bless you, Celine, but it does rather haunt me."

“Every time I go into either some kind of a bar in a hotel where there’s a live pianist or into a restaurant where they are changing their music according to who walks in the door ... it’s thrilling for people to ‘surprise’ me with the Celine Dion song,” she said.”

On a somewhat similar note, actor Donald Faison supposedly has the same feeling about the old Bel Biv Devoe song “Poison”. Ever since he did the dance bit on Scrubs (if you watch the show, you know what I mean), any time he goes to a club or bar, the dj puts the song on to “surprise” him. I guess he pretty much just gets up and leaves now.

I consider myself an amateur movie critic and was excited when I heard about Titanic being made and even more excited when the positive reviews came in-—I was really looking forward to seeing it. What a disappointment!

1. For such an historic event the filmmakers decided to focus on this sappy love story?

2. Kate + Leo = Zero Chemistry. She was too old and harsh-looking, totally miscast.

3. Gloria Stuart-I found her unappealing on the screen with her wart and cringed when she appeared. Face it, movies are for attractive people. She wasn’t.

4. Please tell me why the security guy handcuffed Leo to the pole and left him to die? He was a pest. Most people wouldn’t be that cold-hearted in this situation.

5. The stereotyping—of course all Irish people love to sing, play fiddles, drink, and dance after they have worked 12 hours of hard labor shoveling coal.

6. Of course all flabby women LOVE to take their tops off for total strangers. And better yet, women LOVE to throw beautiful expensive jewelry overboard. Even Princess Diana kept Charles’s engagement ring after their divorce. Very preposterous, obviously Jim Cameron’s take on women.

And the list goes on and on and on.....

I loved Harry Chapin

Dance band on the titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me?

Mama stood cryin' at the dockside
sayin' "Please son, don't take this trip"
I said "Mama, sweet mama, don't you worry none
Even God couldn't sink this ship"

Well, the whistle blew and they turned the screws
It turned the water into foam
Destination sweet salvation
Goodbye home sweet home

I'm in the dance band on the titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me?

There was a trombone and a saxophone
The bass and drums were cookin' up the bandstand
And I was strummin' in the middle with this dude on the fiddle
And we were three days out from land

And now the foghorn's jammed and moanin'
Hear it groanin' through the misty night
I heard the lookout shout down
"There's icebergs around but still everything's all right"

Oh, the dance band on the titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me?

They were burnin' all the flares for candles
In the banquet they were throwin' in first class
And we were blowin' waltzes in the barroom
When the universe went crash

"There's no way that this could happen"
I could hear the old captain curse
He ordered lifeboats away, that's when I heard the chaplain say
"Women and children and chaplains first"

Well, they soon used up all of the lifeboats
But there were a lot of us left on board
I heard the drummer sayin'
"Boys, just keep playin', now we're doin' this gig for the Lord"

I heard the dance band on the titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me?

There's a wild-eyed boy in the radio shack
He's the last remaining guest
He was tappin' in a morse code frenzy
Tappin', "Please God, SOS"

Jesus Christ can walk on the water
Where a music man will drown
They say that Nero fiddled while Rome burned up
Well, I was strummin' as the ship go down

I'm in the dance band on the titanic
Sing, "Nearer, my God, to thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me?

Dance band on the titanic
Sing, "Nearer, my God, to thee"

Won't you dance with me?

Huge spoiler on the Bible. Jesus dies at the end!

If you think that is what happened at the end, you are wrong and you never have read the Bible. That was not the end of the story. Jesus died for your sins so that you may have eternal life, BUT He was resurrected from the dead, to prove God has power over death. Death could not hold Jesus in the grave. Jesus is alive!

What?! Aw man, I didn't get to that part yet. What, no spoiler alerts? Sheesh. Anyway, I'm at the part where this dude Moses is becoming a bigshot in Egypt. I think he's going to be the next Pharoh or something, that ought to be awesome.
